Winter 2023 - Professor Gutierrez is a treasure. I audited his Physics 1BH lectures while enrolled in Professor Bauer's Physics 1B. My philosophy was that if I could even tread water in 1BH, I would thrive in 1B. Gutierrez is smart, funny, and cares deeply about his students' well-being. He explains concepts beautifully and walks through simple, intuitive practice problems before throwing you into the thick of it. Professor Gutierrez gives a break in the middle of the class, allows test corrections, and encourages collaboration. What I appreciate most about Professor Gutierrez is his humility, explaining how "Grades aren't everything" applied to his journey. He clarified that performing suboptimally on one exam doesn't define your grade in his class, and his classroom had the strongest community I've found among CS and EE classes. I highly recommend taking any class he teaches and taking the time to get to know him. Professor Gutierrez is a wealth of knowledge, stories, and compassion.

Spring 2024 - Class was pretty good! Prof allows you to get some points back on the midterms by doing corrections, which you absolutely need to. The class kind of comes down to the final, and it was difficult. I ended with an 87 which was slightly curved to an A-. Overall, he is very engaging and remembers everyone's names (forcing you to participate by calling names). The homework was difficult but doable, and the midterms were straightforward. I took Chem 113A before this so the math for calculating quantum solutions actually made sense to me, and it was very helpful in understanding our results.
